The newly recorded species, Diplazium mettenianum (Miq.) C. Chr. var. mettenianum (Athyriaceae) was collected from a forest in Min-oreum, Jeju-do. D. mettenianum var. mettenianum (vernacular name: 'Kit-ju-reum-go-sa-ri') is distinguished from other Korean congeners of the genus Diplazium by having pinnae shallowly or halfway lobed, lower pinnae stalked, lanceolate, pinna segments serrate margin and obtuse apex. A new Korean name, 'Kit-ju-reum-go-sa-ri', was given based on the shape of pinna halfway lobed. Descriptions and illustrations of this taxon and its photograph in the habitat are provided along with a key to the species of Diplazium from Korea.

Fieldwork in Lao PDR during 2007-2008 resulted in the discovery of 15 unrecorded fern species among the flora of Lao PDR. All have been identified in other countries in southeastern Asia, as well as from other tropical areas. The species are as follows: Asplenicaceae (Asplenium delavayi, A. rockier), Athyriaceae (Anisocampium cuspidatum), Dennstaedtiaceae (Microlepia hookeriana, Pteridium revolutum), Dryopteridaceae (Didymochlaena truncatula, Dryopteris cochleata, Polystichum biaristatum, P. lindsaefolium), Gleicheniaceae (Dicranopteris curranii), Hypodematiaceae (Hypodematium crenatum), Lindsaeaceae (Lindsaea heterophylla), Pteridaceae (Pteris decrescens), Polypodiaceae (Pyrrosia nummularifolia) and Thelypteridaceae (Cyclosorus dentatus).

Three unrecorded fern species from the flora of Korea, Nephrolepis cordifolia, Athyrium epirhachis, and Asplenium castaneo-viride, are reported here. Nephrolepis cordifolia, recognized as introduced species and cultivation in Korea until now, is found in the wild at the entrance of small cave in Jeju island. Athyrium epirhachis is found under the Quercus acuta forest at about 400 - 500 m alt. in Jeju island. This species is similar to A. otophorum but different from the latter by having once pinnately divided leaf blade and the decurrent base of ultimate segment. Asplenium castaneo-viride is hybrid between A. ruprechtii and A. incisum and is distinguished from parental species by presence of proliferation, shape of leaf blade, pattern of venation, and leaf texture.
